COVID KILLING MACHINE OFFERS FIRST LINE OF 

DEFENCE FOR OUR HOMES THIS CHRISTMAS

A COVID-19 fighting sanitising machine could be a vital weapon in the war against the coronavirus this Christmas.

Between 23 and 27 December, people across the UK will be able to meet with those from three other households in their homes to celebrate Christmas - a relaxation of the rules which scientists claim will "throw fuel on the COVID fire."

However, medics at the award-winning Harley Street Skin clinic have trialled a new patented device that combines UV-C technology with ozone technology to kill 99.9% of airborne viruses, including the flu and COVID-19.

The small, portable UV-C Sanispace machines are the first devices in the UK to harness the inactivating properties of ozone for use inoccupiedrooms and are capable of not only making our homes safer this Christmas, but the workplace and public places too. 

'Contaminated' air is exposed to direct UV-C light inside the machine which in turn destroys unwanted vira, bacteria, pollen, fungi, mould and other unwanted particles in the air including those belonging to the coronavirus.

Dr Aamer Khan, founder of Harley Street Skin and recent winner of the British Citizen Award said: "Tests on the Sanispace machines show that we can inactivate a bacteriophage in an aerosol state called MS2 which is 7-10 times more resistant than coronavirus.

"Inactivation is 90% after 1 hour and 99% after 2 hours which means that in any room where the machine is installed there will be a protective shield from the virus.

"It keeps both the air and the surfaces sterile and is an ideal solution for a healthcare setting allowing us to control the potential spread of Covid-19 in our clinics and keep our patients safe.

"It is the strongest weapon we currently have to combat the virus even after the vaccination programme is deployed. However, its use could be of even greater value this Christmas asrelaxation of the rules on indoor mixing for up to 5 days will undoubtedly carry the risk of a rise in the infection rate, increased hospitalisations and deaths, while adding additional pressure on the NHS," he continued.

John Earle, Director of Aster International, (asterinternational.com) providers of the 'Covid Killing' machines in the UK explained: "It takes only about 10 minutes for bacteria to multiply, so in order to keep up with the growth of bacteria the air needs to be recirculated 5-6 times which requires a very big, powerful and noisy ventilator.

"The difference between a Sanispace machine and a UV-C air cleaner is that it combines UV-C technology with ozone technology and is capable of keeping both the air and the surface of the room continuously disinfected.

"The machines are small, portable and affordable and could be considered the first line of defence against the coronavirus which continues to threaten our lives.

"This technology could enable restaurants, leisure and retail to open up more safely and allow families to confidently reunite with their loved ones this Christmas."
